This document provides a template for preparing answers to competency-based interview questions. It outlines a Situation-Action-Result framework for structuring responses and includes example trigger words to help describe situations one has faced in various competency areas like planning, problem solving, communication, teamwork, customer focus, initiative, leadership, and conflict resolution. Interviewees are prompted to describe a specific situation, the actions they took, and the outcome achieved before relating their answer back to the original question.
